Gateway to England and Scotland

Take our ferry from Holland to the UK and you’ll be perfectly placed to go on and explore both England and Scotland. Northumberland has some of the UK’s most stunning scenery, as does Cumbria and Lake District that are both to reach from Newcastle. Travelling north of the border to Scotland you’ll be able to enjoy everything from the dramatic highlands to sophisticated and vibrant cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow. Or, if you’re planning to travel south, you’ll find that the motorway network easily connects you with the rest of the country.

Did You Know…

Newcastle and the whole of the north east of England is an area rich with places to visit and sights to see. The city itself has many museums as well as an excellent art gallery called The Laing with works by great masters like Gauguin and Gainsborough. You’re also very close to the beautiful Northumberland coastline and the borders of Scotland. Many parts of Hadrian’s Wall, built by the Romans to stop the Scots from invading England, are still standing and there’s an excellent visitor centre at Segedunum, just 10 minutes from port.
